[WriteLog] Shifted F-Key SSB Messages Not Working

[Jerry Pixton]

Garry,

I would rather not call these "cw" settings. They are the old settings for 
the "record on-the-fly" function and always have been for voice!  The new 
text string adds the "ph" when this same function key is now supposed to 
play whatever is defined in the shifted ssb slot for that key.

All of the messages to be recorded can be recorded on the fly and then 
arranged in what ever order you like. Remember there does not have to be a 
correspondance between the name of a wave file and the message slot you put 
it in. They can go anywhere in the 20 ssb slots. Yesterday I recorded some 
18 wave files to use in various combinations all using the Shift+F2 key 
sequence and then after playing the message, I would rename the wave file 
so it would not be overwritten.
